lol...one old man that wasn't at the scene of the CRIME, reviews some CT evidence, puts his own unique CT spin on things, changes all of our perspectives.

The MEDIA in this country is heavily liberal biased. If these CT theories held any water, the media would shove it down our throats.

I think it's FAIRLY OBVIOUS that Bush and the rest of the Mason/Illuminati/Shape-shifting reptilians are forcing the media not to show this kind of information. They want people to be ignorant!

Here is a test of how the media is far left...

Walk up to anyone on the street and ask them how the economy is doing. 9/10 will tell you its all going to hell. I tried this at work and it was funny and disturbing at the same time because of how misguided people really are.

In reality the stock market broke ALL TIME records in November, and unemployment hovers around all time lows.

They did pull it off, the government that is.

They are the only ones who can pull off operations this size. We are not just talking about "camouflaging" terrorists here, these where global military strikes primarily aimed at diverting your own nations military/defenses from the intented strike zone(s). (i.e. ground zero)

It was certainly not Osama Bin Laden who made the orders to divert the military.

whatever you reckon mate

quote:

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) was established in 1958 through a bilateral U.S.-Canada agreement. Its mission was, and is, to defend the airspace of North America and protect the continent. That mission does not distinguish between internal and external threats; but because NORAD was created to counter the Soviet threat, it came to define its job as defending against external attacks.


NEADS reporting structureNORAD headquarters are located in Colorado, with three regional sectors including the Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) in Rome, New York. Two air bases, Otis Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts and Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia, had two fighters ready and on alert.

Air defense of the United States relied on close cooperation between the NORAD and the FAA. As they existed on 9/11, the protocols for the FAA to obtain military assistance from NORAD required multiple levels of notification and approval at the highest levels of government.

The protocols in place on 9/11 for the FAA and NORAD to respond to a hijacking presumed that

The hijacked aircraft would be readily identifiable and would not attempt to disappear;
There would be time to address the problem through the appropriate FAA and NORAD chains of command; and
Hijacking would take the traditional form: that is, it would not be a suicide hijacking designed to convert the aircraft into a guided missile.
9/11
On 9/11, the defense of U.S. airspace depended on close interaction between two federal agencies: the FAA and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

On the morning of 9/11, the existing protocol for hijackings was unsuited in every respect for what was about to happen.

The FAA's Boston Center and other air traffic control centers alerted NEADS of the four hijackings, though with little or no advance notice for NEADS and NORAD to mount a response.

At most, NEADS had 9 minutes advance notice of the first hijacking (American Airlines Flight 11)
NEADS was notified about United Airlines Flight 175 at 9:03 a.m. - the same time that it crashed into the World Trade Center's south tower.
NEADS had four minutes advance notice of American Airlines Flight 77.
NEADS was notified about United Airlines Flight 93 at 10:07 a.m. - after it already had crashed.
American Airlines Flight 11
Main article: American Airlines Flight 11
NEADS received notification of the hijacking 9 minutes before American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. Of all four hijacked aircraft, this nine minutes was the most time that NEADS had to respond.

Although the Boston Center air traffic controller realized at an early stage that there was something wrong with American 11, he did not immediately interpret the plane's failure to respond as a sign that it had been hijacked. At 8:14, when the flight failed to heed his instruction to climb to 35,000 feet, the controller repeatedly tried to raise the flight. He reached out to the pilot on the emergency frequency. Though there was no response, he kept trying to contact the aircraft.

At 8:21, American 11 turned off its transponder, immediately degrading the information available about the aircraft. The controller told his supervisor that he thought something was seriously wrong with the plane, although neither suspected a hijacking. The supervisor instructed the controller to follow standard procedures for handling a "no radio" aircraft.

The controller checked to see if American Airlines could establish communication with American 11. He became even more concerned as its route changed, moving into another sector's airspace. Controllers immediately began to move aircraft out of its path, and asked other aircraft in the vicinity to look for American 11.108

At 8:24:38, the following transmission came from American 11:

We have some planes. Just stay quiet, and you'll be okay. We are returning to the airport.
The controller only heard something unintelligible; he did not hear the specific words "we have some planes." The next transmission came seconds later:

Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet.
The controller told us that he then knew it was a hijacking. He alerted his supervisor, who assigned another controller to assist him. He redoubled his efforts to ascertain the flight's altitude. Because the controller didn't understand the initial transmission, the manager of Boston Center instructed his quality assurance specialist to "pull the tape" of the radio transmission, listen to it closely, and report back.

Between 8:25 and 8:32, in accordance with the FAA protocol, Boston Center managers started notifying their chain of command that American 11 had been hijacked. At 8:28, Boston Center called the Command Center in Herndon to advise that it believed American 11 had been hijacked and was heading toward New York Center's airspace.

By this time, American 11 had taken a dramatic turn to the south. At 8:32, the Command Center passed word of a possible hijacking to the Operations Center at FAA headquarters. The duty officer replied that security personnel at headquarters had just begun discussing the apparent hijack on a conference call with the New England regional office. FAA headquarters began to follow the hijack protocol but did not contact the NMCC to request a fighter escort.

The Herndon Command Center immediately established a teleconference between Boston, New York, and Cleveland Centers so that Boston Center could help the others understand what was happening.

At 8:34, the Boston Center controller received a third transmission from American 11:

Nobody move please. We are going back to the airport. Don't try to make any stupid moves.
In the succeeding minutes, controllers were attempting to ascertain the altitude of the southbound flight.

Military Notification and Response
Boston Center did not follow the protocol in seeking military assistance through the prescribed chain of command. In addition to notifications within the FAA, Boston Center took the initiative, at 8:34, to contact the military through the FAA's Cape Cod facility. The center also tried to contact a former alert site in Atlantic City, unaware it had been phased out. At 8:37:52, Boston Center reached NEADS. This was the first notification received by the military-at any level-that American 11 had been hijacked:

FAA: Hi. Boston Center TMU [Traffic Management Unit], we have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out.
NEADS: Is this real-world or exercise?
FAA: No, this is not an exercise, not a test
NEADS ordered to battle stations the two F-15 alert aircraft at Otis Air Force Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts, 153 miles away from New York City. The air defense of America began with this call.

At NEADS, the report of the hijacking was relayed immediately to Battle Commander Colonel Robert Marr. After ordering the Otis fighters to battle stations, Colonel Marr phoned Major General Larry Arnold, commanding general of the First Air Force and NORAD's Continental Region. Marr sought authorization to scramble the Otis fighters. General Arnold later recalled instructing Marr to "go ahead and scramble them, and we'll get authorities later." General Arnold then called NORAD headquarters to report.

F-15 fighters were scrambled at 8:46 from Otis Air Force Base. But NEADS did not know where to send the alert fighter aircraft, and the officer directing the fighters pressed for more information: "I don't know where I'm scrambling these guys to. I need a direction, a destination." Because the hijackers had turned off the plane's transponder, NEADS personnel spent the next minutes searching their radar scopes for the primary radar return. American 11 struck the North Tower at 8:46. Shortly after 8:50, while NEADS personnel were still trying to locate the flight, word reached them that a plane had hit the World Trade Center.

Radar data show the Otis fighters were airborne at 8:53. Lacking a target, they were vectored toward military-controlled airspace off the Long Island coast. To avoid New York area air traffic and uncertain about what to do, the fighters were brought down to military airspace to "hold as needed. "From 9:09 to 9:13, the Otis fighters stayed in this holding pattern.

In summary, NEADS received notice of the hijacking nine minutes before it struck the North Tower. That nine minutes' notice before impact was the most the military would receive of any of the four hijackings.

United Airlines Flight 175
Main article: United Airlines Flight 175
NEADS was first notified about United Airlinse Flight 175 at 9:03 a.m., the same time that it crashed into the World Trade Center's south tower. They had zero advanced notice.

One of the last transmissions from United Airlines Flight 175 is, in retrospect, chilling. By 8:40, controllers at the FAA's New York Center were seeking information on American 11. At approximately 8:42, shortly after entering New York Center's airspace, the pilot of United 175 broke in with the following transmission:

UAL 175: New York UAL 175 heavy.
FAA: UAL 175 go ahead.
UAL 175: Yeah. We figured we'd wait to go to your center. Ah, we heard a suspicious transmission on our departure out of Boston, ah, with someone, ah, it sounded like someone keyed the mikes and said ah everyone ah stay in your seats.
FAA: Oh, okay. I'll pass that along over here.
Minutes later, United 175 turned southwest without clearance from air traffic control. At 8:47, seconds after the impact of American 11, United 175's transponder code changed, and then changed again. These changes were not noticed for several minutes, however, because the same New York Center controller was assigned to both American 11 and United 175.The controller knew American 11 was hijacked; he was focused on searching for it after the aircraft disappeared at 8:46.

At 8:48, while the controller was still trying to locate American 11, a New York Center manager provided the following report on a Command Center teleconference about American 11:

Manager, New York Center: Okay. This is New York Center. We're watching the airplane. I also had conversation with American Airlines, and they've told us that they believe that one of their stewardesses was stabbed and that there are people in the cockpit that have control of the aircraft, and that's all the information they have right now.
The New York Center controller and manager were unaware that American 11 had already crashed.

At 8:51, the controller noticed the transponder change from United 175 and tried to contact the aircraft. There was no response. Beginning at 8:52, the controller made repeated attempts to reach the crew of United 175. Still no response. The controller checked his radio equipment and contacted another controller at 8:53, saying that "we may have a hijack" and that he could not find the aircraft.

Another commercial aircraft in the vicinity then radioed in with "reports over the radio of a commuter plane hitting the World Trade Center." The controller spent the next several minutes handing off the other flights on his scope to other controllers and moving aircraft out of the way of the unidentified aircraft (believed to be United 175) as it moved southwest and then turned northeast toward New York City.

At about 8:55, the controller in charge notified a New York Center manager that she believed United 175 had also been hijacked. The manager tried to notify the regional managers and was told that they were discussing a hijacked aircraft (presumably American 11) and refused to be disturbed. At 8:58, the New York Center controller searching for United 175 told another New York controller "we might have a hijack over here, two of them."

Between 9:01 and 9:02, a manager from New York Center told the Command Center in Herndon:

Manager, New York Center: We have several situations going on here. It's escalating big, big time. We need to get the military involved with us.. . . We're, we're involved with something else, we have other aircraft that may have a similar situation going on here.
The "other aircraft" referred to by New York Center was United 175. Evidence indicates that this conversation was the only notice received by either FAA headquarters or the Herndon Command Center prior to the second crash that there had been a second hijacking.

While the Command Center was told about this "other aircraft" at 9:01, New York Center contacted New York terminal approach control and asked for help in locating United 175.

Terminal: I got somebody who keeps coasting but it looks like he's going into one of the small airports down there.
Center: Hold on a second. I'm trying to bring him up here and get you-There he is right there. Hold on.
Terminal: Got him just out of 9,500-9,000 now.
Center: Do you know who he is?
Terminal: We're just, we just we don't know who he is.We're just picking him up now.
Center (at 9:02): Alright. Heads up man, it looks like another one coming in.
The controllers observed the plane in a rapid descent; the radar data terminated over Lower Manhattan. At 9:03, United 175 crashed into the South Tower.

Meanwhile, a manager from Boston Center reported that they had deciphered what they had heard in one of the first hijacker transmissions from American 11:

Boston Center: Hey . . . you still there?
New England Region: Yes, I am.
Boston Center: . . . as far as the tape, Bobby seemed to think the guy said that "we have planes." Now, I don't know if it was because it was the accent, or if there's more than one, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna reconfirm that for you, and I'll get back to you real quick. Okay?
New England Region: Appreciate it.
Unidentified Female Voice: They have what?
Boston Center: Planes, as in plural.
Boston Center: It sounds like, we're talking to New York, that there's another one aimed at the World Trade Center.
New England Region: There's another aircraft?
Boston Center: A second one just hit the Trade Center.
New England Region: Okay. Yeah, we gotta get-we gotta alert the military real quick on this.
Boston Center immediately advised the New England Region that it was going to stop all departures at airports under its control. At 9:05, Boston Center confirmed for both the FAA Command Center and the New England Region that the hijackers aboard American 11 said "we have planes." At the same time, NewYork Center declared "ATC zero"-meaning that aircraft were not permitted to depart from, arrive at, or travel through New York Center's airspace until further notice.

Within minutes of the second impact, Boston Center instructed its controllers to inform all aircraft in its airspace of the events in New York and to advise aircraft to heighten cockpit security. Boston Center asked the Herndon Command Center to issue a similar cockpit security alert nationwide. We have found no evidence to suggest that the Command Center acted on this request or issued any type of cockpit security alert.

Military Notification and Response
The first indication that the NORAD air defenders had of the second hijacked aircraft, United 175, came in a phone call from New York Center to NEADS at 9:03. The notice came at about the time the plane was hitting the South Tower.

By 9:08, the mission crew commander at NEADS learned of the second explosion at the World Trade Center and decided against holding the fighters in military airspace away from Manhattan:

Mission Crew Commander, NEADS: This is what I foresee that we probably need to do. We need to talk to FAA. We need to tell 'em if this stuff is gonna keep on going, we need to take those fighters, put 'em over Manhattan. That's best thing, that's the best play right now. So coordinate with the FAA. Tell 'em if there's more out there, which we don't know, let's get 'em over Manhattan. At least we got some kind of play.
The FAA cleared the airspace. Radar data show that at 9:13, when the Otis fighters were about 115 miles away from the city, the fighters exited their holding pattern and set a course direct for Manhattan. They arrived at 9:25 and established a combat air patrol (CAP) over the city.

Because the Otis fighters had expended a great deal of fuel in flying first to military airspace and then to New York, the battle commanders were concerned about refueling. NEADS considered scrambling alert fighters from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia to New York, to provide backup. The Langley fighters were placed on battle stations at 9:09. NORAD had no indication that any other plane had been hijacked.

American Airlines Flight 77
Main article: American Airlines Flight 77
NEADS was informed about American Airlines Flight 77 at 9:34 a.m., four minutes before it crashed into the Pentagon.

American 77 began deviating from its flight plan at 8:54, with a slight turn toward the south. Two minutes later, it disappeared completely from radar at Indianapolis Center, which was controlling the flight.

The controller tracking American 77 told us he noticed the aircraft turning to the southwest, and then saw the data disappear. The controller looked for primary radar returns. He searched along the plane's projected flight path and the airspace to the southwest where it had started to turn. No primary targets appeared. He tried the radios, first calling the aircraft directly, then the air-line. Again there was nothing. At this point, the Indianapolis controller had no knowledge of the situation in New York. He did not know that other aircraft had been hijacked. He believed American 77 had experienced serious electrical or mechanical failure, or both, and was gone.

Shortly after 9:00, Indianapolis Center started notifying other agencies that American 77 was missing and had possibly crashed. At 9:08, Indianapolis Center asked Air Force Search and Rescue at Langley Air Force Base to look for a downed aircraft. The center also contacted the West Virginia State Police and asked whether any reports of a downed aircraft had been received. At 9:09, it reported the loss of contact to the FAA regional center, which passed this information to FAA headquarters at 9:24.

By 9:20, Indianapolis Center learned that there were other hijacked aircraft, and began to doubt its initial assumption that American 77 had crashed. A discussion of this concern between the manager at Indianapolis and the Command Center in Herndon prompted it to notify some FAA field facilities that American 77 was lost. By 9:21, the Command Center, some FAA field facilities, and American Airlines had started to search for American 77. They feared it had been hijacked. At 9:25, the Command Center advised FAA headquarters of the situation.

The failure to find a primary radar return for American 77 led us to investigate this issue further. Radar reconstructions performed after 9/11 reveal that FAA radar equipment tracked the flight from the moment its transponder was turned off at 8:56. But for 8 minutes and 13 seconds, between 8:56 and 9:05, this primary radar information on American 77 was not displayed to controllers at Indianapolis Center. The reasons are technical, arising from the way the software processed radar information, as well as from poor primary radar coverage where American 77 was flying.

According to the radar reconstruction, American 77 reemerged as a primary target on Indianapolis Center radar scopes at 9:05, east of its last known position. The target remained in Indianapolis Center's airspace for another six minutes, then crossed into the western portion of Washington Center's airspace at 9:10.As Indianapolis Center continued searching for the aircraft, two managers and the controller responsible for American 77 looked to the west and southwest along the flight's projected path, not east-where the aircraft was now heading. Managers did not instruct other controllers at Indianapolis Center to turn on their primary radar coverage to join in the search for American 77.

In sum, Indianapolis Center never saw Flight 77 turn around. By the time it reappeared in primary radar coverage, controllers had either stopped looking for the aircraft because they thought it had crashed or were looking toward the west. Although the Command Center learned Flight 77 was missing, neither it nor FAA headquarters issued an all points bulletin to surrounding centers to search for primary radar targets. American 77 traveled undetected for 36 minutes on a course heading due east for Washington, D.C.

By 9:25, FAA's Herndon Command Center and FAA headquarters knew two aircraft had crashed into the World Trade Center. They knew American 77 was lost. At least some FAA officials in Boston Center and the New England Region knew that a hijacker on board American 11 had said "we have some planes." Concerns over the safety of other aircraft began to mount. A manager at the Herndon Command Center asked FAA headquarters if they wanted to order a "nationwide ground stop." While this was being discussed by executives at FAA headquarters, the Command Center ordered one at 9:25.

The Command Center kept looking for American 77. At 9:21, it advised the Dulles terminal control facility, and Dulles urged its controllers to look for primary targets. At 9:32, they found one. Several of the Dulles controllers "observed a primary radar target tracking eastbound at a high rate of speed" and notified Reagan National Airport. FAA personnel at both Reagan National and Dulles airports notified the Secret Service. The aircraft's identity or type was unknown.

Reagan National controllers then vectored an unarmed National Guard C130H cargo aircraft, which had just taken off en route to Minnesota, to identify and follow the suspicious aircraft. The C-130H pilot spotted it, identified it as a Boeing 757, attempted to follow its path, and at 9:38, seconds after impact, reported to the control tower: "looks like that aircraft crashed into the Pentagon sir."

Military Notification and Response
NORAD heard nothing about the search for American 77. Instead, the NEADS air defenders heard renewed reports about a plane that no longer existed: American 11.

At 9:21, NEADS received a report from the FAA:

FAA: Military, Boston Center. I just had a report that American 11 is still in the air, and it's on its way towards-heading towards Washington.
NEADS: Okay. American 11 is still in the air?
FAA: Yes.
NEADS: On its way towards Washington?
FAA: That was another-it was evidently another aircraft that hit the tower. That's the latest report we have.
NEADS: Okay.
FAA: I'm going to try to confirm an ID for you, but I would assume he's somewhere over, uh, either New Jersey or somewhere further south.
NEADS: Okay. So American 11 isn't the hijack at all then, right?
FAA: No, he is a hijack.
NEADS: He-American 11 is a hijack?
FAA: Yes.
NEADS: And he's heading into Washington?
FAA: Yes. This could be a third aircraft.
The mention of a "third aircraft" was not a reference to American 77.There was confusion at that moment in the FAA. Two planes had struck the World Trade Center, and Boston Center had heard from FAA headquarters in Washington that American 11 was still airborne. We have been unable to identify the source of this mistaken FAA information.

The NEADS technician who took this call from the FAA immediately passed the word to the mission crew commander, who reported to the NEADS battle commander:

Mission Crew Commander, NEADS: Okay, uh, American Airlines is still airborne. Eleven, the first guy, he's heading towards Washington. Okay? I think we need to scramble Langley right now. And I'm gonna take the fighters from Otis, try to chase this guy down if I can find him.
After consulting with NEADS command, the crew commander issued the order at 9:23:"Okay . . . scramble Langley. Head them towards the Washington area.. . . [I]f they're there then we'll run on them.. . .These guys are smart." That order was processed and transmitted to Langley Air Force Base at 9:24. Radar data show the Langley fighters airborne at 9:30. NEADS decided to keep the Otis fighters over New York. The heading of the Langley fighters was adjusted to send them to the Baltimore area. The mission crew commander explained to us that the purpose was to position the Langley fighters between the reported southbound American 11 and the nation's capital.

At the suggestion of the Boston Center's military liaison, NEADS contacted the FAA's Washington Center to ask about American 11. In the course of the conversation, a Washington Center manager informed NEADS: "We're looking-we also lost American 77."The time was 9:34. This was the first notice to the military that American 77 was missing, and it had come by chance. If NEADS had not placed that call, the NEADS air defenders would have received no information whatsoever that the flight was even missing, although the FAA had been searching for it. No one at FAA headquarters ever asked for military assistance with American 77.

At 9:36, the FAA's Boston Center called NEADS and relayed the discovery about an unidentified aircraft closing in on Washington: "Latest report. Aircraft VFR [visual flight rules] six miles southeast of the White House. . . . Six, southwest. Six, southwest of the White House, deviating away." This startling news prompted the mission crew commander at NEADS to take immediate control of the airspace to clear a flight path for the Langley fighters: "Okay, we're going to turn it . . . crank it up. . . . Run them to the White House." He then discovered, to his surprise, that the Langley fighters were not headed north toward the Baltimore area as instructed, but east over the ocean. "I don't care how many windows you break," he said. "Damn it.. . . Okay. Push them back."

The Langley fighters were heading east, not north, for three reasons. First, unlike a normal scramble order, this order did not include a distance to the target or the target's location. Second, a "generic" flight plan-prepared to get the aircraft airborne and out of local airspace quickly-incorrectly led the Langley fighters to believe they were ordered to fly due east (090) for 60 miles. Third, the lead pilot and local FAA controller incorrectly assumed the flight plan instruction to go "090 for 60" superseded the original scramble order.

After the 9:36 call to NEADS about the unidentified aircraft a few miles from the White House, the Langley fighters were ordered to Washington, D.C. Controllers at NEADS located an unknown primary radar track, but "it kind of faded" over Washington. The time was 9:38.The Pentagon had been struck by American 77 at 9:37:46.The Langley fighters were about 150 miles away.

Right after the Pentagon was hit, NEADS learned of another possible hijacked aircraft. It was an aircraft that in fact had not been hijacked at all. After the second World Trade Center crash, Boston Center managers recognized that both aircraft were transcontinental 767 jetliners that had departed Logan Airport. Remembering the "we have some planes" remark, Boston Center guessed that Delta 1989 might also be hijacked. Boston Center called NEADS at 9:41 and identified Delta 1989, a 767 jet that had left Logan Airport for Las Vegas, as a possible hijack. NEADS warned the FAA's Cleveland Center to watch Delta 1989.The Command Center and FAA headquarters watched it too. During the course of the morning, there were multiple erroneous reports of hijacked aircraft. The report of American 11 heading south was the first; Delta 1989 was the second.

NEADS never lost track of Delta 1989, and even ordered fighter aircraft from Ohio and Michigan to intercept it. The flight never turned off its transponder. NEADS soon learned that the aircraft was not hijacked, and tracked Delta 1989 as it reversed course over Toledo, headed east, and landed in Cleveland. But another aircraft was heading toward Washington, an aircraft about which NORAD had heard nothing: United 93.

United Airlines Flight 93
Main article: United Airlines Flight 93
NEADS was notified about United Airlines Flight 93 at 10:07 a.m., after it already had crashed.

At 9:27, after having been in the air for 45 minutes, United 93 acknowledged a transmission from the Cleveland Center controller. This was the last normal contact the FAA had with the flight.

Less than a minute later, the Cleveland controller and the pilots of aircraft in the vicinity heard "a radio transmission of unintelligible sounds of possible screaming or a struggle from an unknown origin."

The controller responded, seconds later: "Somebody call Cleveland? "This was followed by a second radio transmission, with sounds of screaming. The Cleveland Center controllers began to try to identify the possible source of the transmissions, and noticed that United 93 had descended some 700 feet. The controller attempted again to raise United 93 several times, with no response. At 9:30, the controller began to poll the other flights on his frequency to determine if they had heard the screaming; several said they had.

At 9:32, a third radio transmission came over the frequency: "Keep remaining sitting. We have a bomb on board." The controller understood, but chose to respond: "Calling Cleveland Center, you're unreadable. Say again, slowly." He notified his supervisor, who passed the notice up the chain of command. By 9:34, word of the hijacking had reached FAA headquarters.

FAA headquarters had by this time established an open line of communication with the Command Center at Herndon and instructed it to poll all its centers about suspect aircraft. The Command Center executed the request and, a minute later, Cleveland Center reported that "United 93 may have a bomb on board. "At 9:34, the Command Center relayed the information concerning United 93 to FAA headquarters. At approximately 9:36, Cleveland advised the Command Center that it was still tracking United 93 and specifically inquired whether someone had requested the military to launch fighter aircraft to intercept the aircraft. Cleveland even told the Command Center it was prepared to contact a nearby military base to make the request. The Command Center told Cleveland that FAA personnel well above them in the chain of command had to make the decision to seek military assistance and were working on the issue.

Between 9:34 and 9:38, the Cleveland controller observed United 93 climbing to 40,700 feet and immediately moved several aircraft out its way. The controller continued to try to contact United 93, and asked whether the pilot could confirm that he had been hijacked. There was no response.

Then, at 9:39, a fourth radio transmission was heard from United 93:

Ziad Jarrah: Uh, this is the captain. Would like you all to remain seated. There is a bomb on board and are going back to the airport, and to have our demands [unintelligible]. Please remain quiet.
The controller responded: "United 93, understand you have a bomb on board. Go ahead." The flight did not respond.

From 9:34 to 10:08, a Command Center facility manager provided frequent updates to Acting Deputy Administrator Monte Belger and other executives at FAA headquarters as United 93 headed toward Washington, D.C. At 9:41, Cleveland Center lost United 93's transponder signal. The controller located it on primary radar, matched its position with visual sightings from other aircraft, and tracked the flight as it turned east, then south.

At 9:42, the Command Center learned from news reports that a plane had struck the Pentagon. The Command Center's national operations manager, Ben Sliney, ordered all FAA facilities to instruct all aircraft to land at the nearest airport. This was an unprecedented order. The air traffic control system handled it with great skill, as about 4,500 commercial and general aviation aircraft soon landed without incident.

At 9:46 the Command Center updated FAA headquarters that United 93 was now "twenty-nine minutes out of Washington, D.C."

At 9:49, 13 minutes after Cleveland Center had asked about getting military help, the Command Center suggested that someone at headquarters should decide whether to request military assistance:

FAA Headquarters: They're pulling Jeff away to go talk about United 93.
Command Center: Uh, do we want to think, uh, about scrambling aircraft?
FAA Headquarters: Oh, God, I don't know.
Command Center: Uh, that's a decision somebody's gonna have to make probably in the next ten minutes.
FAA Headquarters: Uh, ya know everybody just left the room.
At 9:53, FAA headquarters informed the Command Center that the deputy director for air traffic services was talking to Monte Belger about scrambling aircraft. Then the Command Center informed headquarters that controllers had lost track of United 93 over the Pittsburgh area. Within seconds, the Command Center received a visual report from another aircraft, and informed headquarters that the aircraft was 20 miles northwest of Johnstown. United 93 was spotted by another aircraft, and, at 10:01, the Command Center advised FAA headquarters that one of the aircraft had seen United 93 "waving his wings." The aircraft had witnessed the hijackers' efforts to defeat the passengers' counterattack.

United 93 crashed in Pennsylvania at 10:03:11, 125 miles from Washington, D.C. The precise crash time has been the subject of some dispute. The 10:03:11 impact time is supported by previous National Transportation Safety Board analysis and by evidence from the Commission staff's analysis of radar, the flight data recorder, the cockpit voice recorder, infrared satellite data, and air traffic control transmissions.

Five minutes later, the Command Center forwarded this update to headquarters:

Command Center: O.K. Uh, there is now on that United 93.
FAA Headquarters: Yes.
Command Center: There is a report of black smoke in the last position I gave you, fifteen miles south of Johnstown.
FAA Headquarters: From the airplane or from the ground?
Command Center: Uh, they're speculating it's from the aircraft.
FAA Headquarters: Okay.
Command Center: Uh, who, it hit the ground. That's what they're speculating, that's speculation only.
The aircraft that spotted the "black smoke" was the same unarmed Air National Guard cargo plane that had seen American 77 crash into the Pentagon 27 minutes earlier. It had resumed its flight to Minnesota and saw the smoke from the crash of United 93, less than two minutes after the plane went down. At 10:17, the Command Center advised headquarters of its conclusion that United 93 had indeed crashed.

Despite the discussions about military assistance, no one from FAA headquarters requested military assistance regarding United 93. Nor did any manager at FAA headquarters pass any of the information it had about United 93 to the military.

Military Notification and Response
NEADS first received a call about United 93 from the military liaison at Cleveland Center at 10:07. Unaware that the aircraft had already crashed, Cleveland passed to NEADS the aircraft's last known latitude and longitude. NEADS was never able to locate United 93 on radar because it was already in the ground.

At the same time, the NEADS mission crew commander was dealing with the arrival of the Langley fighters over Washington, D.C., sorting out what their orders were with respect to potential targets. Shortly after 10:10, and having no knowledge either that United 93 had been heading toward Washington or that it had crashed, he explicitly instructed the Langley fighters: "negative- negative clearance to shoot" aircraft over the nation's capital.

The news of a reported bomb on board United 93 spread quickly at NEADS. The air defenders searched for United 93's primary radar return and tried to locate other fighters to scramble. NEADS called Washington Center to report:

NEADS: I also want to give you a heads-up, Washington.
FAA (DC): Go ahead.
NEADS: United nine three, have you got information on that yet?
FAA: Yeah, he's down.
NEADS: He's down?
FAA: Yes.
NEADS: When did he land? 'Cause we have got confirmation-
FAA: He did not land.
NEADS: Oh, he's down? Down?
FAA: Yes. Somewhere up northeast of Camp David.
NEADS: Northeast of Camp David.
FAA: That's the last report. They don't know exactly where.
The time of notification of the crash of United 93 was 10:15. The NEADS air defenders never located the flight or followed it on their radar scopes. The flight had already crashed by the time they learned it was hijacked.

Military intercepts
Theory
The military is perfectly capable of intercepting commercial aircraft.

Fact
The hijackers turned of the aircraft transponders, making it much more difficult to locate the aircraft (as radar blips, among all the many radar blips from all aircraft). Further, bureaucratic problems and incompetency inhibited the government from a quick, efficient, timely response to the hijackings.

Some conspiracy theorists point to the 1999 NORAD intercept of Payne Stewart's Learjet before it crashed. There was already a F-16 in flight, on training, and available. Unlike the hijacked 9/11 aircraft, the transponder in the Learjet was never turned off. These two facts made it possible to make the intercept.

You don't need a test to know the media is anything but liberal. Sure there are people who work for the media with liberal beliefs as education is the highest factor correlated with being a liberal and since most people who work at media outlets are college educated many of them hold liberal views. However that doesn't change the fact that they work for advertisement dollars which in turn makes them a slave to big business which is anything but liberal. When was the last time you saw an article saying that capitalism is a poor choice and maybe we should try something else? Never because you don't write articles like that and expect to keep your job.

I mean come on the president of Clearchannel even came out and said that Clearchannel is not in the business of providing well researched thoughtful news and music they're in the business of selling as many advertisements as they can and in turn creating the largest market they can for their clients.

But I bet you believed Mr. Rumsfeld when he told you that they did. Would you not agree on this point - that the US administration LIED about Iraq having WMD's?

If so, why can't they lie about other stuff?

the MASSIVE operation that was 9/11 just wouldnt be possible to carry out from inside the government and gotten away with. the sheer logistical nightmare that would be the planting of bombs in the WTCs is just the tip of the ice berg. fooling NORAD & NIST and eye-witnesses (especially re the pentagon) just wouldnt be possible. too many eyes and ears and brains.

governments just dont work like this. sure, black ops are carried out and evil things done by governments all round the world. but not like this, on this kind of scale. here is a government that couldn't "find" WMDs in iraq?? so youre ready to believe a massive conspiracy -taking in so many levels of government its not funny- to invade iraq, yet you dont find it weird that the US didnt plant some evidence of WMDs to justify the attack??

contrary to what people here seem to believe, the US government is comprised of thousands of individuals, its not one single entity with a "hive mind" that can act and do as it pleases with all members following blindly. the idea that the NIST investigators wouldnt go about their job to the very best of their ability just isnt credible.

get a job in any government agency and you'll see what i mean.

there were a million and one safer ways to carry out a similar attack that would have been far easier to effect than this huge and ridiculously complicated scheme. theres just no way in hell the US government would go to such treasoness(sp?) lengths in such a dangerous and convoluted way, with every chance of getting caught. the entire conspiracy makes no sense at all.


Posted by alchimist on Feb-02-2007 00:24:

I�m amazed that as the western world becomes �more� educated, people still have very strange beliefs. Before letting your imagination run wild and watching some crappy video on the internet made up of non classified material, facts which on closer inspection contradict the word, and not to forget the spooky sound track. You need to ask yourself the simple question, whats the more likely explanation.
For complex matters in science you cant always rely on common sense and critical thinking, you need to look at all the facts. I emphasise all, as conspiracy theorists in general often cling onto one piece of circumstantial evidence (or more often than not, no evidence at all) and ignore the contradicting 99% of evidence. An often forgotten practice of science is you need to record the misses as well as the hits and only then draw conclusions.
However this isn�t a complex matter of science, although this wonderful tool can be used to bebunk every single argument the morons who think 9/11 is faked can come up with. For example I remember some fool banging on about the fact the fire didn�t reach the necessary temperature to melt steel. Correct! (mp of steel is about 1,500 degrees, normal building fires and hydrocarbon (e.g. jet fuel) fires generate temperatures up to about 1,100 degrees) However the fool either ignored or was simply ignorant to the fact when bare steel reaches temperatures of 1,000 degrees celsius, it softens and its strength reduces to roughly 10 percent of its room temperature value. Therefore, yielding and buckling of the steel members (floor trusses, beams, and both core and exterior columns) was to be expected.

It is a matter of above all else common sense. Ask yourself what benefits would the government get from faking 9/11. I�m serious here what benefits??? Even if the government does only look after the top 2% and big business I still fail to see how it would aid them destroying the world trade centres. In the short term it did terrible things to their economy, and as we have seen America attacks anyone it likes, they could just come up with a normal lie, like sadam has WMDs� which doesn�t involve seriously effecting their economy and killing thousands of Americans. This leads onto the point, if indeed the government had murdered 3000 of its own citizens, don�t you think they would just kill the people making the 9/11 �the truth� videos and other crap??? This alone practically proves 9/11 wasn�t faked, your telling me that a government that can execute an operation with such precision and keep it a secrete, couldn�t stop some high school kids posting videos on the web�I mean at least be consistent.
If your not already convinced, this point is key (it also applies to people who think the moon landings were faked). The conspiracy would involve too many people for it ever to remain secrete!!! There are leeks all the time, governments cant keep secrete who�s having an affair with who� So many people were involved with the investigation, the conspiracy would have to involve thousands of people, which due to human nature isn�t possible!
Basically people need to get a grip, and try and think about things. I mean whats more likely, some alien travels across the universe to leave a crop circle in farmer bob�s field, or someone fakes it on photoshop? Before we claim stuff is out of this world we should first check it�s not in this world! Conspiracy theorists should peel their eyes away from the latest mis information and bad science they are reading and look to see what company they are in. How many leading mathematicians, physicists, chemists, economists, etc are with them??? And on the other hand how many kids and people who spent far too much time on the internet instead of the real world are in their corner??? Lets not forgot that around � of Americans believe that aliens are abducting people, so the comment, a large number of people are simply thick is very accurate. I think the previous sentence sadly sums up why so many people believe 9/11 was faked.

Alch

Hehe, you remind me of the arguments I have with my dad on this.

Black ops, as you say, are carried out. I have issues with quite a few things on Loose Change, but I just can't help feel that there are things about 9/11 that simply don't add up. And I'm basing this on evidence, or at least from what I hear and see with my own eyes in the media / internet etc. Basic simple questions have yet to be answered, or at least given a satisfactory explanation for.

A couple of old-chestnuts of mine are:

1) Why is there no video of plane hitting pentagon, (even from surrounding gas stations etc.

2) Why 2/3 frames of one the biggest, intrusive attacks on American soil at one of the most secure institutions in the country?

3) Why was there just a hole in the ground in PA? Yeah, I know a plane hitting at 500 mph (or argument's sake) would create a hole of some magnitude, but why no bits of aircraft, no bodies, no seats, wings, engines, cockpit, no nothing?

4) WTC 7

5) Removal of sniffer dogs etc from WTC buildings

6) The lease and insurance taken out 3? months before to specifically include terror attacks?

Governments can do whatever they want theoretically. Do you know that in times of declared emergency, the head of FEMA can take control of the country?

Planting evidence in a foreign country is excrutiatingly more difficult than planting it in your own. But if people are naive enough to believe Iraq had WMD's, then why not naive enough to believe official administration story of 911?

Iraq is a neo-con agenda to finish off what Daddy started. Period. I don't see how it can be viewed any other way.

Caught by whom?? Who holds the 3 branches of government to account? It's not the people after you've been sworn in.

Why make the attack 'safe'. This attack (regardless of whoever you think it was done by) scared America, and allowed for disgusting abuses of freedom such as Guantanemo bay and US PATRIOT Act.

Alot of LC raises questions and doesn't provide their own answers, but I do agree with alot of it - There are gaping holes that (for me) are not answered.

as above. also, the quality of closed-circuit cameras comes into question, theyre not just rolling with perfect film rates. its no surprise that a jet travelling at 500mph+ isnt caught very well on cameras shooting at low frame rates.

also, honestly- where did all the wreckage come from? not to mention the dead bodies and personal effects. where did the plane and passengers really go? what about the hundreds of witnesses that saw the crash?

because the "official" story from the administration has stood up to far more scrutiny than any CT theory ever has. not to mention the hundreds of experts (like all the engineers) that examined the collapse of the towers. do you really think some spotty kids can see the truth where all the government & private experts could not?

irrelevant to the question at hand. the manipulation and opportunism after the fact is not evidence of complicity or design.

the media. any of the investigative teams that analysed any particular part of the overall attack. think about how many things would have to go perfectly for everyone to be fooled. if you were planning an attack theres no way in hell you would EVER design something as convoluted as this. the possibility of discovery or failure in one way or another are just far too high.

safe meaning "successful" and "easy to carry out". as above. and again, the activities after the fact arent evidence. you cant point to how bush & the neo-cons used the situation and say thats evidence of anything apart from political opportunism. its illogical. its not evidence.

Alot of LC raises questions and doesn't provide their own answers, but I do agree with alot of it - There are gaping holes that (for me) are not answered.


seriously, LC is a pile of shit on so many levels and i urge you to watch screw loose change before finalising your opinions.

I prefer Terrorstorm - better evidence, admitted by the governments, historical facts. Gives you a valid pretext to re-consider what happened on 9/11 if you think it was the terrorists and not the government. Government-sponsored terrorism and false flag operations have happened many times in our history. Most have got away with what they did, even though people found out later. So what?

I bet if I asked you how many times insert favorite football team name here won a cup you would respond wouldn't you? You're on the internet arguing in a "strange beliefs" forum. Like I've said before; people arguing they're not gay in a gay bar.

You need to ask yourself the simple question, whats the more likely explanation.
For complex matters in science you cant always rely on common sense and critical thinking, you need to look at all the facts.


It's no mystery if a water faucet is on somehow, sometime you're gonna get your hand wet should you decide to put it in the way of the stream of water. That's common sense. Common sense is also that you look before you enter the lift unless you want to fall down the shaft. Critical thinking is where you actually take a moment to think; should I or shouldn't I? Science is the explanation of why, who, what, where and when. Science, most likely, would have you believe you came from cavemen. So if your belief is such; then it should come as no surprise if they treat you as theorized. After all you came from apes didn't you? If you believe in that theory you can believe one more. Only difference is that the theory of gov't complicity is not far fetched but proven if you look into Operation Northwoods.

quote:
I emphasise all, as conspiracy theorists in general often cling onto one piece of circumstantial evidence (or more often than not, no evidence at all) and ignore the contradicting 99% of evidence. An often forgotten practice of science is you need to record the misses as well as the hits and only then draw conclusions.


Circumstantial evidence and corroborating evidence are two wholly different things. But I get what you mean:

Circumstantial evidence shows that you're an idiot. Corroborating evidence would be your post(s). Remember that next time you call people "fools" and "morons" in order to pigeonhole them.

quote:
However this isn’t a complex matter of science, although this wonderful tool can be used to bebunk every single argument the morons who think 9/11 is faked can come up with.


Science only has theories into 9/11 and not proof. Without that steel there can be no proper testing.

quote:
For example I remember some fool banging on about the fact the fire didn’t reach the necessary temperature to melt steel. Correct! (mp of steel is about 1,500 degrees, normal building fires and hydrocarbon (e.g. jet fuel) fires generate temperatures up to about 1,100 degrees) However the fool either ignored or was simply ignorant to the fact when bare steel reaches temperatures of 1,000 degrees celsius, it softens and its strength reduces to roughly 10 percent of its room temperature value. Therefore, yielding and buckling of the steel members (floor trusses, beams, and both core and exterior columns) was to be expected.


If you're gonna cut and paste the FAQ at the NIST WTC at least give them credit. Without that steel and testing of temperature stresses on that steel; one can come up with a goofy idea such as theirs. In other words they have a theory that they can back up if they actually tested the steel for thermal and/or explosive stresses. But somehow we're supposed to take their word at face value.

quote:
It is a matter of above all else common sense. Ask yourself what benefits would the government get from faking 9/11. I’m serious here what benefits???


USA PATRIOT ACT I and II are examples for now.

quote:
Even if the government does only look after the top 2% and big business I still fail to see how it would aid them destroying the world trade centres. In the short term it did terrible things to their economy, and as we have seen America attacks anyone it likes, they could just come up with a normal lie, like sadam has WMDs… which doesn’t involve seriously effecting their economy and killing thousands of Americans.


Are you saying that lying about WMDs didn't kill or hurt anyone? Are you for real? Anti-american sentiment is one thing but ignorance shouldn't be one of your strong points.

Instead of saying "America attacks anyone it likes" say "the American government attacks anyone it likes", because there is a difference. I know I didn't attack anyone in my life outside of the US or inside for that matter.

quote:
This leads onto the point, if indeed the government had murdered 3000 of its own citizens, don’t you think they would just kill the people making the 9/11 “the truth” videos and other crap???


They have people like you come here and try to kill credibility. They don't need to spend money on a bullet if they have shills like you for free.

quote:
This alone practically proves 9/11 wasn’t faked, your telling me that a government that can execute an operation with such precision and keep it a secrete, couldn’t stop some high school kids posting videos on the web…I mean at least be consistent.


So you advocate murder? In order to prove that 9/11 was not faked it be better if 9/11 naysayers were dead? Do you even understand or know what you're implying?

quote:
If your not already convinced, this point is key (it also applies to people who think the moon landings were faked). The conspiracy would involve too many people for it ever to remain secrete!!! There are leeks all the time, governments cant keep secrete who’s having an affair with who… So many people were involved with the investigation, the conspiracy would have to involve thousands of people, which due to human nature isn’t possible!


The "conspiracy" made thousands of people pass on information that Saddam had nukes. It wasn't impossible in 2003 before the invasion. It shouldn't be impossible before 2001. If you've read anything about Operation Northwoods, Operation PBSUCCESS or Operation PBFORTUNE and Operation Ajax for examples, you would see this pattern by now.

quote:
Basically people need to get a grip, and try and think about things. I mean whats more likely, some alien travels across the universe to leave a crop circle in farmer bob’s field, or someone fakes it on photoshop?


So you're saying what? You believe in crop circles and the aliens that left them? Do you also believe in cow mutilating aliens too? People in glass houses...

quote:
Before we claim stuff is out of this world we should first check it’s not in this world! Conspiracy theorists should peel their eyes away from the latest mis information and bad science they are reading and look to see what company they are in.


Right you are. So do us a favor and next time keep your one singular silence breaking post to yourself for rhetoric that means something.

quote:
How many leading mathematicians, physicists, chemists, economists, etc are with them???


Dr. Stephen Jones for one, who had questioned the "official" story of 9/11 from a physicists standpoint. Until money got in the way and had him bounced from teaching in the University. I say money because someone somewhere must have said they would pull certain university funding if Dr. Jones kept on with his revealing study into the WTC complex. But people like you are smarter than a physicist. No doubt about it.

quote:
And on the other hand how many kids and people who spent far too much time on the internet instead of the real world are in their corner???


Then explain why did you respond after a two year silence?

quote:
Lets not forgot that around ¼ of Americans believe that aliens are abducting people, so the comment, a large number of people are simply thick is very accurate.


Are you saying that since 75% don't believe in aliens that makes them "thick'? By your logic; if 75% don't believe they descended from apes, would that make them unintelligent? Are you saying that the 60% in this poll that believe in a gov't cover up are idiots?

quote:
I think the previous sentence sadly sums up why so many people believe 9/11 was faked.


The only thing summed up was that you offered nothing worthwhile in the rhetoric you've just brandished.

hahahahaha. oh, good old dr jones. a physicist, but NOT a structural engineer. his paper STILL hasnt been peer reviewed either. the first step in gaining scientific credibility. no engineer on the planet agrees with his findings. and jones was stood down from his position at BYU because his theories were bringing the uni's reputation into disrepute. but of course, its more cloak and daggers stuff for those that constantly have to see things that arent there. itd be funny if it wasnt so sad.

Ahh the power of the ignore feature. I don't need to see people making fools of themselves. Too bad some people don't use it for their benefit so they don't have to respond to me.

But their a bit oddly curious the lot they are.

As regards the condition of the hemispheres themselves, an alert state of the nervous system is absolutely essential for the formation of a new conditioned reflex. If the dog is mostly drowsy during the experiments, the establishment of a conditioned reflex becomes a long and tedious process, and in extreme cases is impossible to accomplish. The hemispheres must, however, be free from any other nervous activity, and therefore in building up a new conditioned reflex it is important to avoid foreign stimuli which, falling upon the animal, would cause other reactions of their own. If this is not attended to, the establishment of a conditioned reflex is very difficult, if not impossible.

Why Has the Greatest Crime in U.S. History Never Been Criminally Investigated?

and other Unanswered Questions about September 11, 2001


For five years the 911truth movement has been quietly building support. While many ideas and theories have been put forth about what happened in that fateful day, the main thrust of the movement is to push for a new investigation of 9/11 to answer the many still unanswered questions such as:

The Warnings:

Why did the administration ignore warnings, some specific as to date and place, from at least 11 foreign intelligence services delivered to Washington prior to 9/11? Why were several prominent Americans, including top military brass, warned not to fly on 9/11?

Missing Air Defense:

Why was established procedure not followed to intercept any of the hijacked planes on 9/11? Why did the defense missiles on top of the Pentagon not fire at the attacking plane as it flew toward the Pentagon? (Had they been disabled?) If the defense failures were due to incompetence, why was no one reprimanded or fired? Was air defense lacking because of the military exercises underway on the morning of 9/11?

Pilots of the Hijacked Planes:

How could an inexperienced pilot have successfully flown a heavy commercial airliner on his first try? Why were some of the alleged terrorists trained at U.S. military bases and CIA flight schools?

The Alleged Hijackers:

Why is it that at least six of the hijackers who were supposed to have died on 9/11 are alive and well, giving interviews and living in the Middle East? If no Arab names were on the passenger manifests released by the airlines following 9/11, how could names and photographs of the alleged hijackers have been broadcast around the world within hours of the attacks? Why were no airline tickets or receipts ever presented as evidence?

The Money:

If “follow the money” is the time-honored criminal investigative technique for uncovering criminal collusion, why did the 9/11 Commission elect to drop the pursuit of mainstream-documented leads such as the $100,000 wire transfer from the head of Pakistan’s intelligence service to alleged lead hijacker Mohammad Atta several days before the attacks. Why was the extreme level of options trading activity in American and United Airlines stock in the days before 9/11, a clear indication of foreknowledge of the attacks, never pursued?

The Plane Crashes:

How could one of the hijacker’s passports emerge from the wreckage of the Twin Towers and be found intact on the streets of New York? Why was debris from the Pennsylvania plane scattered over an area of several miles, and not confined to the 10 by 30 ft foot hole where the official story says the plane crashed? Why were no large plane parts found at the crash site? Why are the 9/11 plane crashes the only ones in modern U.S. history not to have been investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board? Why were none of the thousands of serial numbered parts ever presented as proof of the identity of the aircraft?

Collapse of the Twin Towers:

What caused the massive explosions in the basements of the Towers before the planes even hit (which registered as small earthquakes at Colombia University) and the hundreds of explosions reported by witnesses before and during the buildings collapses? How is it possible for the Towers to completely collapse in the same amount of time it would take for a brick to fall through air from the same height? How were the concrete floors, walls, computers, furniture and other materials atomized into dust? How could brief jet fuel fires have caused the buildings’ collapse when no steel building has ever collapsed due to fire in the entire history of architecture?

World Trade Center 7 Collapse:

Why did this 47-story steel office building, which was not hit by any plane, collapse completely in 6.7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11? What did its owner Larry Silverstein mean when he said the decision had been made to “pull” the building? Was WTC 7 wired with explosives prior to 9/11? If so, were explosives also planted in the Twin Towers prior to the attacks?

The 9/11 Commission and It's Report:

Why, if it had nothing to hide about the attacks, did the Bush Administration resist 9/11 families’ call for an investigative commission for an unprecedented 441 days. Why was administration insider Philip Zelikow, who had co-authored a book with Condi Rice, and whose CV states that his expertise is in the creation and maintenance of public myth, appointed to direct the Commission?

Why did Bush and Cheney refuse to testify in public, under oath, to the Commission? Why did the Commission members accept the official conspiracy theory as their operating premise and say early-on that they would not investigate what happened on 9/11 and who was responsible. Why was the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 not mentioned in the report?

False Flag Operation:

Was 9/11 a “false flag” operation, used throughout history to generate public support for political objectives by deliberately creating a terror incident and blaming the attack on a designated enemy, thus serving as a justification for war?
